A/N: Nymphadora and ShipperOnThLoose win!
Disclaimer: I own nobody and nothing; my ideas own themselves as is clear from the fact that I so often have no clue where a story is going.

"Lucky Charm!" I yell.
"Ssh!" Chat Noir tugs me down. "Do you want him to hear you?"
"Sor-" Something bonks me on the head, landing in my lap. "A...scorpion?"
Chat grabs the orange-and-black figurine. "This is perfect! Now we just need Chloe and a wedding dress."
I stare at him.
Chat shakes his head. "I read the book. Just trust me on this?"
I've never read or seen Phantom of the Opera. Chloe is more into The Princess Bride. Other than Disney, she doesn't really care for musicals.
"O-okay," I say. "But...I thought I was supposed to use Lucky Charm? Ladybug said something about ladybug-vision?"
Chat looks embarrassed, and hands the scorpion back to me. "Sorry. You're right; Ladybug is supposed to use the Charm." His gaze doesn't leave the statuette.
I look around, but the only things that light up like Ladybug said they would are the scorpion...and Chat.
I pass it back to him, getting to my knees. "You know what to do with it better than I do. I'll get Chloe and a dress."
"Get her to wear it!" Chat whisper-calls after me as I crawl away.
Le Fantome's head whips around, and he looks straight at me.
I don't think twice about pulling out my yoyo.
He jerks back as it hits him in the nose. By the time he looks back, I'm gone.

An akuma. At the Grand Paris. I reflexively touch my purse before I remember.
"Isn't this great!" Alya gushes. "With you, I can get even better footage for the Ladyblog! I wonder what akuma Ladybug and Chat Noir are fighting this time?"
Ladybug's not fighting any akuma today.
I paste a smile onto my face. "Let's go see!"
Alya pedals so hard, I can barely keep up, though I know I'm in better physical condition than she is.

"Why do I have to do this again?" Chloe asks.
"Because we said so," says Coccinelle. She adjusts a sleeve, then balances the veil on Chloe's loose, wavy hair.
I squint at my onetime best friend. "Purrfect."
Coccinelle giggles at my pun, but somehow it's less satisfying than the groan I would've gotten from Milady.
Chloe's scowl deepens.
"Purrfect if you smile sweetly," I amend. "Remember, you're Christine DaaƩ. You believe that Le Fantome is your angel of music. You love him. Also, you are happy and nice to people for no particular reason."
Chloe glares daggers at me, then sighs and adjusts her expression.
"You're an amazing Christine!" I cheer. "Now go out there and flirt with that akuma!" I hand her the statuette. "Tell him you've made your choice, and show him this."
Chloe raises an eyebrow but doesn't comment.
A/N: I want to promise the next chapter will be out at 20 reviews, but I'm afraid if I do I'll get 25 before I finish writing it. So, uh, next chapter comes out as soon as I've written it AND I have 20+ reviews. Deal?
(Also if you have any Chat puns, Lucky Charm, or akuma ideas, feel free to suggest! I feel like I always come up with lame akumas, but I reassure myself by thinking of some of Hawkmoth's canon akumas.)
